Description: DIVING AND SALVAGE EQUIPMENT: DIVING: This request provides funding for procurement of modern equipment to replace the Navy's archaic diving systems. The demand for divers' services for salvage, ship husbandry, repair and sanitizing work is rapidly increasing. The requested funding buys diving hardware which increases the efficiency and safety of the working diver. Program objectives are to: (1) provide increased safety for diver decompression and better recompression chamber patient monitoring capability, (2) increase underwater ship maintenance capabilities, (3) improve quick response capability, and (4) standardize the configuration of diving systems in the Fleet. SALVAGE: This request provides program support for the procurement of critical salvage and underwater ship repair items. Public Law 513 (80th Congress, 10 USC 7361 ET SEQ) authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to provide, by contractor or otherwise, necessary salvage and diving equipment, services and facilities for public, private, and military vessels upon such terms and conditions as he may, in his discretion, determine to be in the best interest of the United States. The U. S. Navy Supervisor of Salvage maintains the Emergency Ship Salvage Material (ESSM) System which consists of a network of bases that maintain, control, and issue material for salvage operations, underwater ship husbandry operations, pollution abatement operations, ocean engineering projects, special authorized projects, and equipment for use in national emergencies. The major bases are located in Williamsburg, Virginia; Stockton, California; Singapore; and Livorno, Italy. Satellite bases having smaller allowances are maintained at Sasebo, Japan; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; and Bahrain. This system provides the Nation's first line of defense for major pollution abatement operations and the Navy's second line of defense for salvage operations.

  • ECOS Green Report Focuses on State Environmental Agency Use of UAS,1 Actual and Potential Benefits, and Current and Planned Uses by the Spotlighted State Agencies
    February 2021 GREEN REPORT State Environmental Agency Modernization — Leveraging Unmanned Aerial Systems to Improve Environmental Results By Paulina Lopez-Santos, Project Associate, under the direction of Beth Graves, Executive Project Manager, Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) Copyright ©2021 by the Environmental Council of the States INTRODUCTION Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have emerged as an important tool for state environmental agencies to quickly obtain data, more effectively respond to emergencies, and ensure worker safety while improving environmental results. UAS encompasses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (without a human pilot on board), commonly referred to as drones, as well as the person controlling the flight on the ground and a system of communications between the two. State environmental agencies have long been drivers of innovative approaches and programs to maximize environmental protection. ECOS has highlighted many examples through its annual State Program Innovation Awards, including modernized document management systems, new ways to interface with communities and share data, self-auditing programs, and more effective inspection and permitting programs. Use of UAS contributes to the continued evolution of state environmental agency approaches. This ECOS Green Report focuses on state environmental agency use of UAS,1 actual and potential benefits, and current and planned uses by the spotlighted state agencies. Each identified state environmental agency drone program is highlighted in more detail in the latter part of this report, including a summary of each state program along with benefits, current and planned activities, application highlights, lessons learned, state contacts, and links and resources. 1 In this report, the term “drone,” UAS, and UAV are used interchangeably or depending upon state preference.

  • 120 Introduction Sampling Devices
    San Diego’s Marine Technology Industry By Brock J. Rosenthal Sampling Devices The study of the oceans started as a descriptive science describing and cataloging biological and geological specimens. Many clever mechanical collecting devices were devised to remotely retrieve samples. Initially, by necessity, all were built by the scientists who used them. One of the earliest companies in the U.S. to make sampling equipment for marine scientists was Kahl Scientific Company, sometimes known as Kahlsico. Started in New York City, by Joseph Kahl in 1935, Kahl Scientific began making metrological equipment; they soon catered to requests from customers for field equipment such as water and seafloor samplers. In the aftermath of World War II, Kahl participated Introduction in Operation Paperclip – an Office of Strategic Services n the early days of oceanography scientists largely (OSS) program that recruited scientists from Nazi made their own equipment.
